Guns don't kill people ....

Who is the fucking adult in charge here?

Thats the question I was trying to answer as well.
Legally, it is the uncle. However, I don't see how he should be held responsible for this.
IMO, the mom's boyfriend should be in serious shit for having a loaded firearm in the glove box of his car.
I wonder how the boy knew it was there and how he got access to it.
Was the frikkin car also unlocked???
A whole lotta WTF going on here.

It isnt the uncle. that's what I'm trying to explain here. the uncle is NOT LEGALLY responsible for shit here.

Because if the kid had only had a knife, or bat, or circular saw, or fist, the damage would have been less.

My guess is that the criminal mother's boyfriend took it out and showed it to him, maybe as a threat, or maybe to show the kid how "cool" he is, cause all the cool kids pack heat. Maybe he showed it to him because his dick is small.

I'll bet he is. I don't know that I agree with it, but he IS the kid's legal guardian.

Classic jibes with: Cars kill people

No...
Cars are operated to transport people, sometimes people are killed or only hurt.
Guns are operated to kill people, sometimes people are only wounded.

Trying to figure out who is responsible is very close to blaming the rape victim for being raped.

The NRA, with Grover Norquist and the other Board Members, are responsible by politically stopping
any reasonable and effective legislation to deal with our society's ability to control guns.
Likewise, the people who support the NRA are only slightly less responsible.

If you love the idea of hunting, but blindly accept the consequences
of the NRA's position, some independent thought might helpful.
